1861-S $20 AU 53 NGC. A date that is generally found in well worn grades of Fine to XF, with AUs being very scarce. In fact, Akers wrote of this date: "Compared to other S-Mint twenties, it is distinctly surpassed in overall rarity only by the 1861-S Paquet and the 1866-S No Motto," high praise indeed for this issue. Highly lustrous, particularly on the reverse, and basically free of unsightly marks, a premium piece.
From the Helyn Van Huffel Collection.
